Dawn of the Hunt league is an Early Access temporary league. It launched on April 4, 2025 as part of Path of Exile 2: Dawn of the Hunt in version 0.2.0. It ends on August 26, 2025. Although it had a separate economy from Early Access Standard, all features included in this league (including Azmerian wisps, rogue exiles and talismans) were released as part of the core game, so no items or rewards are technically exclusive to this league and is not officially considered a "full league".

League mechanic

This league introduced the Azmerian wisp mechanic that involves following wisps of light that represent various Azmerian spirits and can imbue monsters along its path with powerful modifiers and abilities.

It also introduced the Talisman class of socketable items.
